6 of us stayed for a business trip and we really can not falt this hotel. The owner was extremely accommodating and keen to help us out with any of our requirements. We did not eat "In house" but heard fellow guests comment on the tasty food. Breakfast was served quickly and tasted lovely. Grannies room has a fantastic bathroom... More

Stayed for two nights as a couple over the easter weekend, and loved it so much we stayed for another. Gorgeous place with beautiful garden and nicely decorated rooms. Great proximity to both Keswick village and amazing walks, so could do everything we wanted to without having to travel anywhere during our stay. Highlight of the stay was definitely our... More

Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of March- would happily stay again. Rooms are very clean and comfortable, all individual. Check the room descriptions- some have showers, some baths, and some have shower/bath tap combination. We had the latter and the sign saying "watch out for sudden temperature changes" was about right... Wifi is an extra £5 per... More

My wife and I stayed here with our (adult) daughter during August this year on our way back south from Scotland. We had originally booked to stay at another hotel in the area which didn't come anywhere close to our standards, and rang hoping for a night's stay. The owners not only had the two rooms we required but also... More

It may help potential guests to evaluate this review if I explain that this guest was angry because I refused to waive our late cancellation policy. He was extremely rude on check in and continued in this manner throughout his stay. We know that the provision of room facilities was not deficient since we did extra quality checks in his... More

I think that there are a couple of individual features about this hotel to note; both could be seen as either positive or negative depending on your perspective. 1) The evening meal arrangements: if you take an evening meal you are presnted with the menu at breakfast and make a selection from 4/5 starters and 3 main courses - all...

We try to take improvement points from all reviews and so far as our food is concerned, particularly our Michelin commended dinners you seem to be very happy for yourself but worried that other guests with different perspectives might be...

This is a wonderful Inn to use as your home base to explore the North Lakes Area and within an easy commute to the South Lakes. We arrived frustrated and fatigued from our first experience of driving on the other side of the road (Yanks) from Penrith train station. We were met by Malcolm who offered kind words of understanding,... More

Thank you so much for your kind review. We hope you have forgiven the Lake District for the weather you experienced whilst at Lairbeck. At present we have a mini 'Indian Summer'! Still we know you 'got out there' and experienced some of the breathtaking beauty of the Lakes (even in the rain). Along with the Brits & the Australians... More

What a pleasant surprise when we entered this hotel. We were wary at first when we saw the " 2 Star " rating of the hotel. I think this hotel deserve a five star rating. The rooms are decorated for royalty and are huge in comparison to other hotels we stayed in. The owner and host was exceptionally pleasant and... More
